Fell out of the work truck and bruised my ribs. Ouch... Can't move very well so am reduced to slowly moving my fingers on the keypad of my laptop to keep myself distracted from the pain. I'm such a weanie. Anyway this picture was too soft to be a good photo so have tried it as a painting.

I needed something for todays picture and I was at the shop and saw these little sedum sneakers sitting on a wet boulder... It's sometimes hard to think of shots to take, I just have to squint and look around wherever I'm at hoping "the muse" will strike.

Happy Anniversary coming up Will and Jodi!!!

Still sticking to the lowcarb thing. You'd think I'd learn and stop jumping off the wagon.

The sun was shining through the kitchen window this morning and I liked how the light showed through the African Violet leaves.Well I'm back on, or at least climbing onto the ol' Low carb wagon again. This time I'll be good. Really I will. I love those carbs really I do but they sure mess with my body chemistry. So I said all that to say this. IF ANY ONE OF YOU SEE ME EVEN SO MUCH AS SNIFFING A TASTY HIGH CARB TREAT... FOR GOD SAKES SLAP ME!!!! enough said.I am a little cranky and irritable. Tomorrow will be a better day.

It used to be just the two of us here at apt. 121. We added two goldfish in a large pot on the patio last summer, making our total census count four. A while back we added four little zebra finches to our little "nest". Ah life was indeed fullfilling and grand. There were Prettyboy and Amelia a nice little couple, and Arrow and Mr speckles our "alternative lifestyle" couple. Well as of the day before yesterday little amelia has presented us with at least two little hatchlings. They are all eyes, eyebrows and beaks at this viewing. Of course, in order for me to actually peer into the nest, I have to perch upon the boot bench while precariously leaning against the wall and squint through my reading glasses. So hurray, hurray, we that were few are now many. As soon as I can get a better look I will post pictures. The "boys" are quite envious and keep trying to fix up their nest and produce an egg or two themselves... It's not working.

Came across this guy when we were wandering around the Nisqually refuge... Loved the colors so thought I'd fiddle with it and put it on watercolor paper texture. (click on picture to see detail.) Oops! I gotta get to work...

Still keeping up with project 365. This is today's shot. I really don't like landscapes but the Falls just called to me. I think I was attracted to the reflected water on the left. Day 24 already only 341 more days to go lol.
